Times may have changed but when I was in real estate a new VA home had to be constructed using VA inspections to insure veteran's were getting a properly built home. If not built using these guidelines, then it had to be at least one year old to qualify for a VA loan. Also, there were some charges relating to a VA loan that MUST be paid by the seller. Not a lot, but it would add up. I suspect the root of the problem would be the builder not wanting to build to VA specifications or having to wait for a VA inspector to pass every stage in the building process.
